  "account": "Google’s Pixel Referral Program has returned, offering customers a 10% discount on the purchase of a Pixel phone through the US Google Store. The program, which was recently reintroduced just over a month after the Pixel 11 series went on sale, provides eligible referrers with $50 in Google Store credit for each successful referral, up to a maximum of $500 from 10 referrals. However, not all Pixel owners are able to participate in the program, as referrers must meet Google’s eligibility requirements and receive an invitation to join. According to 9to5Google, the referral codes are currently valid through November 4, making this a timely opportunity for buyers to save on the latest Google Pixel devices.",
